Pwllheli is a vibrant seaside town located on the south facing coastline of the Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales.
It sits neatly between two of Wales’s most stunning natural attractions.
To the east, lies the Snowdonia National Park with some of the finest mountain peaks in the UK, combining tough terrain with un-rivalled views stretching many miles across the region.
To the west, you’ll discover the undoubted ‘Outstanding Natural Beauty‘ of the Llŷn Peninsula, boasting some of the finest natural, rugged coastline in Wales, that also forms part of the Wales Coastal Path.
On the northern edge of the spectacular Cardigan bay with two south facing beaches and access to a sheltered bay, Pwllheli has earned international recognition for watersports, most notably sailing.
‘A popular tourist destination’
Pwllheli enjoys a steady flow of visitors all year round. Like most tourist areas, Pwllheli is busiest during the school summer holidays when the hotels, bed and breakfasts and holiday cottages are at full capacity, the many nearby campsites are full of life and the marina is buzzing with international events.
After a visit to the market, a tour of the stunning scenery of Llyn Peninsula.
Exploring the Llŷn Peninsula Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
From sea stacks to hill forts, sandy beaches to heritage sites, the Llŷn Peninsula offers some of the best scenery in Wales. Wide open spaces and spectacular vistas. That's the best thing about the Llŷn Peninsula. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty boasts almost 100 miles of coastline, made up of sweeping bays and cliffs, perfect for lovers of the outdoors. We were visiting for a few days and eager to explore. In almost every shop, bar and café, the poetic sounds of the Welsh language drifted around us.
